Strong's Lexicon katanaliskó: To consume, to destroy Original Word: καταναλίσκω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "κατά" (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and the verb "ἀναλίσκω" (analiskó, meaning "to consume" or "to spend"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 398 (אָכַל, 'akal): To eat, consume - Strong's Hebrew 3615 (כָּלָה, kalah): To complete, finish, consume Usage: The Greek verb καταναλίσκω (katanaliskó) primarily means "to consume" or "to destroy." It conveys the idea of something being used up completely or utterly destroyed. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts that describe the consuming nature of fire or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, the concept of consumption was often associated with fire, which was seen as a purifying and destructive force. The use of καταναλίσκω in the New Testament reflects this understanding, particularly in the context of divine judgment, where God's holiness is depicted as a consuming fire that purifies or destroys.
